Abstract

Objective. To study the impact of infiltrating endometriosis on quality of life in women according to the data available in Russian and foreign literature. Material and methods. The key words “quality of life”, “health-related quality of life” “quality of life assessment”, and “infiltrating endometriosis” were used to search for literature sources in the Russian and foreign databases: Elibrary, Medline/PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL. Forty sources were selected. Results. Women with infiltrating endometriosis have a low quality of life. Various drug and non-drug treatments positively affect its level. A lot of trials compare the efficacy of pharmaceuticals, in which progestins and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists with add-back therapy occupy leading places. Such trials are conducted at the second stage of treatment for infiltrating endometriosis (after surgery). Conclusion. Infiltrating endometriosis is a common disease among fertile-aged women with gynecological disease and considerably affects health-related quality of life. Comparative evaluation of the efficiency of isolated surgical and medical treatments is given in some publications. The quality of life in patients with infiltrating endometriosis after different surgical volumes is also inadequately depicted. Therefore, there is a need for further investigations into this topic.
